Automatische Identifikation und Datenerfassungsverfahren. The first generation of products that were labeled with UPC-A almost exclusively used a zero as the number system digit. This website is best viewed with browser version of up to Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 or Firefox 3. This enables each numeric character to be represented by using just two bars and two spaces, which is the fewest number of modules required per character of any symbology.
To specify a UPC-A barcode that has a number system digit other than zero, you must specify 11 digits in the character string. Although UPC barcodes come in a number of different message lengths, these lengths are not fully variable as they are with other barcode symbologies.

Universal Product Code UPC was initially developed in the eic for use by the US grocery industry, and its use has spread into other retail marketplaces in the US and internationally.
Combining UPC with Other Symbologies Because many purchased goods are conveniently prelabeled with UPC barcodes, you will want a barcode reader that can read these symbologies. The character set and density of the add-on symbols are the same as oec of UPC-A.
Because UPC is a numeric-only code, Interleaved 2 of 5 would be the preferred substitute, because it uses about half the space that Code 39 uses. Leading quiet zone Guard pattern start character Six symbol characters Center guard pattern center character Six symbol characters, including check digit Guard pattern stop character Trailing quiet zone UPC-A encodes 11 digits of numeric message data together with a check digit, for a total of 12 digits. Most barcode symbologies print bars and spaces in only two widths, but with UPC, four different widths are used.
The guard bars are the start, stop, and center characters in a UPC-A symbol.

A human readable interpretation is always included. If you have a barcode reader that has automatic discrimination, we recommend using either Interleaved 2 of 5 or Code 39 for your in-house printed barcodes.
With four available printing widths for the bars and spaces instead of just two, UPC-A takes about half the number of bars and spaces relative to Interleaved 2 of 5 to represent each character. The start characters for the two-digit and five-digit add-on symbols are made up of three modules as follows: However, since most barcode readers can automatically discriminate between the various barcode symbologies, it is very easy to combine different barcode symbologies in a given application environment.

They are made up of three modules as follows:. These add-on symbols are usually used to add a date or a manufacturer’s suggested retail price MSRP to periodicals, books, and weighed products, such as food.
